Greens - Cart path only for the complete course

Greens were recently aerated and not really playable. Wish we would have known ahead of arriving, would have played somewhere else. Booked and paid for 2 rounds (Sunday - Monday) in advance prior to leaving on vacation.

Bring your hiking shoes!

Great fun course that challenges your course management and "vertical" skills. Greens recently aerated and sanded so not the best condition right now, but should be soon. Cart path only so expect a lot of "hiking" on this hilly course. Had fun and would definitely play this one again!

Very challenging course

Played this course when it was extremely wet and was cart path only so it was a lot of walking up and down the mountains. Very good course layout and challenging enough to make you say bad words. Overall good experience. Fairways could have been a little better but greens were good.

Gorgeous greens.No two holes alike-fantastic layout.

I drive from Waynesville,NC-(80min.away), & it's the best course for miles & miles. Well worth the drive. Greens are large, & putt so true, you will make more 25ft.putts here, than anywhere. 18 different holes-best variety anywhere. However, you will have lots of uneven stances during your round; but I love this course.

A Must Experience...Hole #12 "Sky Hi"

Being from Illinois flatland county, we thoroughly enjoyed playing the undulating fairways and the picturesque views.

Hole # 9 is appropriately called the "Hallway." See the picture.

Hole # 12 called "Sky Hi" was a real treat. It is 194 yards in length and drops 200 feet. See the picture.

We played in early March. It was a well-kept and conditioned course then so I can only imagine how nice it would be later in the year.

Friendly staff in the ProShop, which also includes a food service area.

Great bargain for the money. Give it a try!

Great, even in March

Got a crazy cheap rate thru golfnow. Played on March 10 after lots of snow and rain in February but course was in great shape. Bermuda was still "yellow" but to be expected in March. Greens in great shape. With rain in forecast and only a handful of people on course, the grounds crew was still out blowing leaves. This has always been a favorite course with elevation changes. Wish I could go again today!

New favorite course

We had a great time playing here. It is my new favorite course! I live in Knoxville and had heard of the course but I thought it was a much farther drive than it actually is. I will be going back asap. The course has some awesome views and tough tight fairways but it also is very forgiving on much of the course. You have to see the par 3 with huge elevation drop. It was a great day!

Great golf course but playing as a single may cause delays in your pace of play.

I really enjoy playing this course when I come up to Gatlinburg. If you are a single though, it may cause you to become quite impatient. Most of the people that are playing will not let you play through because you are playing at a faster pace of play than they are though. The golf course has some beautiful views in the fall as the leaves are turning. This course has a lot of elevation changes which will affect your club selection so be aware. Look to GolfNow for the best prices in rates!!

Great mountain views

Played this course at almost the peak of fall foliage. Great views of the surrounding mountains from 11th green and 12th tee box. The day I played, conditions were perfect - small breeze, mid-60's temp, and no mountain haze. Green roll true and fast but do suffer from folks failing to repair ball marks. Found myself repairing 2-3 divots per green in addition to my own. Staff is courteous and actually will get you out ahead of your assigned tee time if you arrive early and the course pace of play allows.
